Fabulating Futures for Flourishing and Vibrant Worlds
- 2023
-
In: The 10th Nordic Design Research Society (Nordes) Conference.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This one-day workshop will explore fabulations in design research. Bringing together design researchers and practitioners in hands-on exploration and critical dialogue, we will explore emerging practices and potentials of using fabulations in futures-oriented and exploratory practice-based design research. Drawing on fabulations’ relations with feminist technoscience and more-than-human concerns, we seek to understand if and how the practice of fabulating can contribute to designing vibrant worlds that can flourish in new ways.

Mapping Futures and Futuring in HCI/Design
- 2024
-
In: DIS 2024 - Proceedings of the 2024 ACM Designing Interactive Systems Conference. - : Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). ; , s. 458-461
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This one-day workshop seeks to bring together design researchers that have different orientations and practices for futures and futuring to unpack the role of futuring across design, design artefacts, and designers. Our goal in this workshop is to use examples of established futures to engage with and reflect on questions around the role of futures in HCI/design. We believe that there is a common thread between work from many different researchers, but that the people doing that work are spread across different disciplines and geographical locations. To that end, this workshop will assemble researchers working with different methods and approaches to futures in design and will aim to identify core challenges and opportunities for futures in HCI.

Expanding Modes of Reflection in Design Futuring
- 2020
-
In: Proceedings of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. - New York, NY, USA : Association for Computing Machinery. ; , s. 1-15
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Design futuring approaches, such as speculative design, design fiction and others, seek to (re)envision futures and explore alternatives. As design futuring becomes established in HCI design research, there is an opportunity to expand and develop these approaches. To that end, by reflecting on our own research and examining related work, we contribute five modes of reflection. These modes concern formgiving, temporality, researcher positionality, real-world engagement, and knowledge production. We illustrate the value of each mode through careful analysis of selected design exemplars and provide questions to interrogate the practice of design futuring. Each reflective mode offers productive resources for design practitioners and researchers to articulate their work, generate new directions for their work, and analyze their own and others’ work.

Fabulation as an Approach for Design Futuring
- 2023
-
In: DESIGNING INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS CONFERENCE, DIS 2023. - : Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). ; , s. 1693-1709, s. 1693-1709
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Envisioning alternative futures and desirable worlds is a core element of design that must be cultivated, especially when a deep transition of practices, values, and power is necessary for vibrant and just future lifeworlds. In this paper, we contribute towards fabulation as an approach for design futuring that foregrounds feminist commitments and more-than-human concerns. Analyzing two fabulation case studies around biodata and bodily fuids, we ofer three themes based on our process of developing these fabulations: how they engage materials, how they work to trouble temporalities, and how they cultivate imagination. We argue for the emerging potential of fabulation as an approach for open-ended, joyful design futuring, mobilizing speculative storytelling to foreground absent or neglected relations when imagining alternative lifeworlds.

Fabulating Biodata Futures for Living and Knowing Together
- 2022
-
In: DIS 2022 - Proceedings of the 2022 ACM Designing Interactive Systems Conference. - New York, NY, USA : Association for Computing Machinery, Inc. - 9781450393584 ; , s. 1878-1892
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A growing number of design researchers explore engagement with and through biodata. To help make sense of this growing space, we synthesize three emergent themes: (1) expanding notions of biodata and bodies, (2) attending to a greater diversity of human bodies and experiences with biodata, and (3) biodata collaborations between human and non-human bodies. We illustrate these themes with selected design examples. From this synthesis, we develop three interconnected fabulations reimagining alternative engagements with biodata: Weaving Alongside, Diffracting Selves, and Collective Affect. Our discussion unpacks conceptual work of the fabulations, offering invitations for design research to explore alternative ways of living and knowing together with biodata.
